That would be as easy as it comes.

Hi Found the original Windows XP installation disk, turned the PC on, inserted the CD a number of times but all I get is the same message "Disk read error occurred press Ctl+Alt =Del to restart" Tried rebooting, installing CD, but only get the same message. Any other ideas would be appreciated. Reports: · Posted 4 years ago Top vistamike Posts: 10945 This post has been reported. When you boot, do you see an option to get into BIOS? (F2) Change the 1st boot device to CD/DVD Another option is to tap F12 on boot and change the boot order to CD/DVD Mike Reports: · Posted 4 years ago Top whs Posts: 17584 This post has been reported. Yeah, Mike is right. You forgot to change the boot order. Reports: · Posted 4 years ago Top stander2 Posts: 17 This post has been reported. When I boot the computer, I get no options to get into BIOS. just that same message. I tried the F12 on boot a couple of times but it makes no difference.

Source File or Disk" Error Recently, I was working with a client who had a strange problem. He was trying to copy some files on his computer and ended up getting this odd error message: Can't read from the source file or disk. http://helpdeskgeek.com/help-desk/fix-cant-read-from-the-source-file-or-disk-error/ What's odd is that he could easily play the file in Windows without a problem. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j199o5ncLzE It was only an issue when he tried to copy the file. After playing around with it for a while, we tracked down the problem. In this article, I will mention the different reasons why you may get this error message and what you can do about it. File Size Limits The first thing you want to look at is how big disk read the file is and where you are copying it too. For example, if your file is a huge 5GB movie file, then you won't be able to copy it to an external hard drive that is formatted with FAT16. A FAT16 formatted drive can only support up to a 2GB file. FAT32 can only hold up to a 4GB file. Most external hard drives and flash drives are formatted in FAT16 or FAT32. Check out this cool site disk read error that breaks each format down for you and the max file sizes: http://www.ntfs.com/ntfs_vs_fat.htm For whatever reason, when you try to perform a copy like this, you can sometimes get the "Can't read from source or disk" error message. It doesn't make much sense, but that's what happens. Possible Bad Sectors If you're using an external drive, you could possibly have some bad sectors on the hard drive, which is causing the problem. In this case, you should scan the hard drive using a tool like chkdsk. If there are any errors, it will go ahead and fix them. If you hard drive is going bad, then you may have to simply get a new hard drive. If you're trying to copy from an external drive to your local computer, then try plugging in the external drive into another computer and see if you get the same error. If so, that means the external drive is probably going bad. It's a good idea to at this point to use some third-party program to copy the files off forcefully even if they have errors. I have written about a program called TeraCopy, which will copies files even if they are corrupted. Power and Cables In a few cases, the issue is related to other hardware factors. If you're trying to copy to an external hard drive, make sure it's got enough power. Someti
